~~#640565~~ – src:scrollz: "scrollz: FTBFS: make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/include/sys/stat.h', needed by `alias.o'. Stop."

random notes:

"look, mom, #RCBW and /me are mentioned in the recent debian project news!"
looking at the ubuntu box in a package's PTS page sometimes shows valuable patches that have not yet been forwarded to the debian BTS & are just waiting to be applied.

quite a few of the bugs with patches contain fixes forwarded from Ubuntu – thanks guys!
